Advertising in 2016

I've  never watched Downton Abbey, many of my friends have. I do watch PBS regularly and know that Downton is really being pushed there. However, I was surprised when I picked up today's NY Times and did not see the regular New York Times front page but that of the Downton Times. 

The producers of the show bought a four-page advertising spread. It must have been quite costly. I had never seen an ad of this type in any newspaper let alone The Times.

It would be interesting to know the economics behind this.
